10th UK Report for Article 12 of the EU Birds Directive for the
period 2008-2012

The report format includes both a General Report (Annex 1) on
the implementation of the Directive, and a Bird Species Status and
Trends Report containing individual assessments for all relevant
bird species, using an
EU level agreed format. The UK report covers 319 bird
species. Following public consultation and government
sign-off, the final UK report was submitted to the European
Commission in January 2014.
